Automation Opportunity Audit

Find the highest-value process to automate before committing to a build.

Best fit

Teams with multiple candidates, unclear economics, or a workflow that crosses several departments.

Buyer outcome

A decision-ready opportunity matrix, two process maps, a recommended architecture, ROI range, and sequenced implementation backlog.

Deliverables

Concrete artifacts, a clear operating boundary and enough documentation for the team to own the result.

Architecture recommendation

ROI range and implementation backlog

How the work moves

List recurring workflows, owners, systems, triggers, handoffs, volume and known failure cost.

Separate observed numbers from assumptions: executions, minutes, loaded cost, delays and exception rate.

Mark each step deterministic, AI-assisted, human-owned or removable.

Score coverage, complexity, error risk, integration difficulty, cost and likely payback.

Engagement boundaries

The audit is vendor-neutral.
The buyer owns the deliverables and can take them to another implementer.
A build is recommended only when expected value and operational readiness justify it.

“Use deterministic automation wherever possible. Insert AI only where language, extraction or judgment makes it earn its cost.”
